What is the slowest car you have ever driven? (Page 1/7)

We all remember that fastest cars we drive but what about the slowest? Whether it be pitifully, hilariously, or dangerously slow doesn't matter...Post it here!

The slowest car I've ever driven was a 1983 Camaro with an iron duke and around 220k miles on the clock. Would not do 60.

Go!

My mother's former PT Cruiser.... (totaled by some meth head)

We have a couple trucks where I work that'll barely pull themselves up a hill - both F550s, one a fully equipped service truck with crane and compressor powered by a 6.4, the other a flatbed with a 6.7 and such stupid gearing you have to put it to the floor to keep up with traffic while unloaded. Add in 22k pounds or so and it'll literally get outrun by a 3 legged dog.

Otherwise, my experience in hilariously slow vehicles is limited.

Well truthfully its a close tie between my Fiero V6 and my moms former 2003 Ford Focus. At least my Fiero is good looking though. I don't have a huge list of cars I've driven though. I've only had the focus, a K15 truck (thats slow too, but its a truck), my dads C6 Corvette when he still had it (first car I legally was able to drive back when I had my temps, and what a "first experience") and my Fiero. I've driven other cars too but I'm not counting any of them for under 10 miles.

I hear the old VW diesels are also quite bad. Most has all of 50 screaming ponies. The Vanagon was the worst offender.

A 3cyl Geo Metro that was running on 1cyl. LOL! It was my friends and I had to drive it to my house so we could fix it. I think it made 55hp running on all 3cyl.

65 VW beetle. 40hp, front end modified to a baja. Could barely maintain 50 on the highway.

2000 Mazda 626 4 cylinder automatic. Slower than a Fiero 4 cylinder automatic.

1962 International Scout 80. 151.8ci I-4, 3,900 lbs, 93.4 hp, 142.7 torques. 0-60 in about 20 seconds. Mine had oversized tires but stock suspension that increased the turning radius.

For acceleration, Fiat 850 Spyder. Not even close to these hotrods you guys are talking about. Our old Willy's Jeep, 1948. had a top end between 55 and 60. It accelerated pretty good tho.

Ah the 850 spyder. Don't get me wrong I know sports car don't need to have insane amounts of power but they do need some!
